ED 5140 Human Diversity and Educational Equity (3 credits)
This course equips future teachers with the knowledge and skills to create equitable learning environments. Through a critical examination of race, ethnicity, and culture, we explore the complex interplay of identity formation, intersectionality, and power dynamics in educational settings. Using culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogies will serve as a foundation for creating opportunities for students to learn about power and oppression and to empower students to challenge biases, discrimination, prejudices and structural inequalities. Learners will practice selecting and using diverse curriculum resources, collaborating with families, and creating supportive, responsive classrooms. Prerequisites or Corequisites: ED 5100 and 5110.
